This BR designed sleeping car was used, before arrival on the Bluebell, for staff accommodation for the luxury Queen Of Scots touring train. In this, for a few thousand pounds, you can tour the highlands of Scotland. The day accommodation for this train is in pre-grouping coaches of East Coast Joint Stock and London & North Western Railway origin.

It was the livery of this latter railway in which the (rather more modern) sleeping cars were painted. Falling visitor numbers from the States, and a move to static hotel-based overnight stops, led to several of these vehicles falling surplus. This coach was initially one of 5 on loan to the Bluebell, but is now the only one still on site, used as staff accomodation at Sheffield Park - especially useful for those who have to be up at 6am to light up the engines.
